South Australia was struck by more than 65,000 lightning strikes overnight, as a thunderous storm left more than 10,000 households without power at 6am this morning. @SAPowerNetworks will be responding to outages throughout the day. Presently, 66 outages continue to affect just under 8,000 homes across the state. Heavy downpours of up to 25mm also hit areas of SA, prompting a call to the @SA_SES every three minutes between 3:30am to 4:30am. The Bureau of Meteorology has advised most of the activity has moved east, but stormy conditions should still be expected in the Adelaide area in the early afternoon.

@BeefJer53770068 @burrosavic @JaydeCotic Great reply! :)

@burrosavic I can only watch it if @katefreebairn or @JaydeCotic are presenting it. Even then I don’t really care how hot/cold/wet/dry it’s going to be.

@rich_yeah @JenniferKeyte @rich_yeah @gowillow75 thanks for thinking of me - I'm fine now! :)

This is playing with the emotions of families who haven't seen loved ones for months. Clarity please @SAHealth @marshall_steven

@steve82williams @10NewsFirstAdl Are they planning on keeping borders closed forever? What an absolute joke.

@RNWinter @10NewsFirstAdl @10NewsFirst That's lovely to hear! Thanks Rick ☀️

Australia has moved into a La Nina 'watch' phase - there's now a 50% chance of it developing over the coming weeks - and that would bring us a wetter spring/summer, with cooler days and warmer nights

@djurov78 That would be nice!

@katefreebairn @10NewsFirstAdl @10NewsFirst Can we ask it to bring warmer days and cooler nights?

@last_jones Nothing personal Owen! I just try to avoid too much political discussion:) Enjoy the warm weather

@katefreebairn @10NewsFirstAdl Yes, nice out on the planes of Two Wells. you stop following Kate what a bummer :) lol

@kate_a_somers @brendanjsmith10 @brendancrew True dat

Admitting you’re an addict is the first step. Waiting in distress with @katefreebairn for our work vending machine to be restocked with our frosty treat.

@brendanjsmith10 @brendancrew @kate_a_somers You'll be pleased to hear @brendancrew redeemed himself today and brought me in a DC. He didn't chill it though, there's still work to be done.

@brendancrew @katefreebairn @kate_a_somers Further to this…our cafe is closed and the vending machine is OUT of DC. The scenes.
